Junior School Profile

We at the Junior School of St. Columba’s usher in the students from a diverse cross section of communities of our society into a protected and happy school environment where we strive for a holistic development of our students. Committed to our Founders vision of compassion and service, we strongly rely on forming collaborative partnerships with the parents for ensuring an enriching learning process and growth for our students from classes KG to 3.

In the Junior School a strong emphasis is laid on nurturing the whole child facilitating his social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, creative and physical development. We follow a graded and strategically designed curriculum to meet the expected level of competency in various subjects and life skills. Appropriate use of technology in the form of SMARTBOARDS further accentuates the teaching learning process in the junior school.
